Thank goodness the weather is finally thinking about warming up! I love espadrilles and found 20 pairs of espadrilles that you’ll want to wear all spring or summer!
Espadrille Wedge Sandals
Espadrille wedge sandals are a definite favorite of mine and I am all about the blush tones for the season! Sometimes it can be hard with tie sandals like the ones below but the straps are suede so they are a lot more likely to stay and be comfortable!
As much as I love my heels, there’s so many cute flat espadrille sandals out there right now that caught my eye! How gorgeous are these embellished sandals.
Espadrilles don’t have to be strictly casual, you can find some really cute ones to dress up your outfit! I’m dying over these embellished platform heels, they are gorgeous!
The embellishments and studs are so pretty on these! These are a bit pricier but I’ve tried on the Valentino flat espadrilles and they are so comfy!
I just had to add these Ciao Bella espadrilles because they are so fun! The perfect vacation shoe!
This weekend was so busy! If you had a long weekend, I hope you enjoyed it! Ours was a bit crazy but we got to see friends and do a ton of things despite the cold front that Seattle got! Anyway, I love Nordstrom Winter Sale time. So many good things on sale! Probably because living in Seattle, I get so much more wear out of my winter pieces so I don’t mind stocking up late in the season since I get to wear it for many more months!
I’ve already worn this twist hem tee a ton. It’s pretty much my mom uniform when I’m taking my daughter to all her classes and playdates to just grab a cute top and jeans and this one is perfect to layer with. I add a cardigan or vest and even alone it’s cute and flattering. It comes in 4 colors and is true to size.
How cute are the stripes and ruffles! I love the gold stripes and the smock detail. It’s super flattering and makes your waist look smaller which is always a win in my book!
Another ruffle top but I love that this one is metallic. The material is nice and stretchy and pretty comfy. Looks so cute with black denim and heels. These jeans are on sale and are my favorite denim brand! I love that they are stretchy and they are “ankle” length which means normal length on shorty legs like mine. Always a win because that means no alterations needed!
I’m obsessed with Frame Denim lately. Jeans are so hard to shop for but I find that if I stick to a few of the same brands, I tend to have better luck when ordering online or trying them on in store. I don’t know why but I hate trying on jeans so the least amount of time that I have to try on jeans, the happier I am. Anyway, I’ve found Frame denim to fit my body type really well and love the quality of the jeans as well. They can be pricey which is why I’m always excited when I can find them on sale! If you are like me and have a hard time finding jeans that fit, head over to my post on The Secret to Finding the Perfect Jeans where I show you all my favorite brands and styles!
Another striped top! I know I can’t stop. I adore this top though and will wear it a ton this spring. I didn’t realize until I got home that I grabbed this in a size Small and I’m normally an XS so it is slightly big on me in the photo below but it does run true to size.
I’m ready to put my thick sweaters away and bring out some cute spring tops! Found some great spring pieces at Nordstrom and J Crew and wanted to share my finds!
As you can see it’s still very cold here so I’m wearing my leggings and over the knee boots with all these spring tops! You’ll have to imagine cute jeans and shoes with these instead 🙂
Love this lightweight sweater and the pleated ruffles are such a great detail.
It’s driving me crazy that I can’t find this top online! It’s so cute! I found some similar white lace blouses here and here but I’ll make sure to update the post if I end up finding it.
As much I love pretty things, as a mom I also know that I need my fair share of cute and comfy clothes. Always on the lookout for great tops to pair with jeans and love this little ruffle hoodie.
I know this outfit is crazy with the pink on pink ruffles! I just had to try on the bodysuit (it’s only $14.99!) and happened to pick up this cute skirt too. Love both pieces!
I went to Nordstrom Rack the other day and found some SUPER cute things. I don’t shop there as often as I like because I don’t have one close to me but I’ve always been a fan of the rack. I also had no idea that they had so much good stuff online until I came home to try to find the stuff I tried online and ended up doing some more shopping! Anyway, I tried on a bunch of things that I love and that came home with me so wanted to share before it sold out online.
If you remember from my last Nordstrom Dressing Room reviews, I tried on this Vince Camuto blouse in a plaid print so imagine how excited I was to spot it in black at Nordstrom Rack for even cheaper! It’s just such an easy top to wear from day to night and would even be great for work.
Another cute detail top with the eyelet bell sleeves. So cute I had to have it in both colors!
If you follow me on instagram you may have already seen this on my instagram stories. I was stopping by Nordstrom for some Christmas gifts but came across these cute outfits so had to stop and do some shopping! How cute are those pearl jeans and I’m obsessed with the velvet bow top!
I think if you follow me for awhile, you know I love my basic tops with a twist. I’m still not over the bell sleeve trend and I don’t think I will be soon! This top is on sale now.
I told you I love my dressy sweatshirts! Ha! I always seem to find them at every store. Love the pearl details but I’m a little worried that they might fall off. I’m wearing a M here since they didn’t have my size so it looks big on me so size up if you want a baggier fit!
A bell sleeve cardigan? Yes, please! Love the length and that it’s lightweight, so easy to layer with thin sweaters or tees.
I posted on insta-stories of these booties that I just bought and had tons of people DM me about them if they were comfortable, how they ran, etc… They are currently on sale under $90. They run true to size however if you prefer to wear thick socks I would go up half size. (I’m not a fan of thick socks and stick to these think socks for all my boots) The chunky heel makes them pretty comfortable. I wore them to work and then took my daughter to see Santa’s reindeer afterwards so I was on my feet a ton but I lasted all day in them. I didn’t have a chance to take a cute pic of them on, will try to post one soon! But grab them now while they are on sale and have most sizes.
If you aren’t following me on instagram yet – head on over and follow me if you’d like! I try to post my outfits and other fun daily adventures on my instagram stories!
I’m all about the oversized sweaters and over the knee boots for winter. I just got a small sweater haul in the mail that I wanted to share. Amazon of course comes through with the great prices (everything is under $30!) and free 2 day shipping.
It’s a bit dark in the photo so hard to see but there is a ruffle detailing at the sleeve which makes this otherwise basic sweater so fun! It’s a bit baggier than I usually like but it’s a one size fits all sweater so if you are taller than me, it might fit better. However, in the winter, I’m all about the oversized baggy fit so I’m keeping this one as I think it looks really cute with skinny jeans and boots!
Just to note, I’m wearing my favorite high waisted skinnies that I featured in my post where I shared my secrets to finding the perfect jeans for ladies with short legs. I’ve been wearing them SO much and I love that they fit perfectly to your legs so that you can wear over the knee boots with it!
The sweater itself is a very nice thick knit. It’s a bit heavy and so will be difficult to wear a winter coat over it without looking like or feeling like the marshmallow man. It’s great for a trip to the mall where you know you’ll be indoors with the heat and not have to bring a coat with you.
I don’t think I’ll ever be over cutesy details like this but I adore the heart elbow patches! Just too cute. It comes in 5 colors and I’m wearing the size small which fits true to size.
This is a lightweight knit so if you think you might be cold (I am always cold!) I’d recommend wearing a thin long sleeve tee underneath to add enough warmth.
You may have already spotted it in my instagram post too!
About the boots: I own both high end and affordable over the knee boots. The Steve Madden pair are some of the most comparable to the high end Stuart Weitzman boots.
I like the chunky heel as it makes it a lot more comfortable to wear all day long and these are a little bit more forgiving in the calf area whereas some boots are super slim and so if you are wearing jeans it kind of bunches up and can be a bit awkward looking unless you are wearing leggings or perfectly fit skinny jeans. I highly recommend these over the knee boots if you are looking for a great quality and under $100.
With that said, the Stuart Weitzman boots look great on because they are slim fitting. They don’t slide down and and they are extremely comfortable. (Check my latest instagram post here to see them on me).
If you are wanting to splurge a bit more, this is the time to do it as they are on sale for 40% off now! Sizes are limited so also check them on sale here,here and here.
This one is a little bit more fun with the pearl details and the peplum. I think it’s a little short on me so I’m thinking about exchanging for a size up (I’m wearing the size small here) as I don’t really love the cropped look. I already have a short waist and where the peplum is hitting on my waist, make it look even shorter. But I think in a size up it might work as it really is a cute top and I love the details.
The sleeves are so long which is always a problem of mine. Short arm problems, right? But like I said previously I do love the oversized look so I think I can make it work!
I’m also loving my new full length mirror that I just got! This is in my home office where I’m always trying on samples for my clothing line or trying on stuff that I get in the mail. I’m always needing a mirror so I figured it was about time that I get one.
I looked at a bunch of stores and was so happy to have found this full length mirror on Amazon of course! It’s under $100 and the perfect size and I love the modern design. It was not only the design I was looking for but it was also the most inexpensive one and free shipping! And I wonder why I always just buy everything on Amazon these days. Anyway, I love that it’s a stand alone mirror so I can move it around easily when I need to.
WINTER OUTFIT IDEAS: SWEATER, LEGGINGS & OVER THE KNEE BOOTS
This is such an easy outfit to put together so I’ve been wearing a variation at least twice a week. Here’s a recent look from my instagram. Did you know you can easily shop my instagram on my blog? All details are always linked on this page.
SWEATER: Full disclosure that the photo on the website looks nothing like that in real life. I still kept it but was a bit disappointed how far off from the photo it was!
LEGGINGS: On sale! Very thick and appropriate to wear to work leggings. Just make sure your top covers your butt! 🙂
HAT: My favorite beanie! Keeps me so warm during the winter. I was inspired by my sister to add a Chanel brooch for the perfect touch.
BAG: I got this Saint Laurent years ago (when they still went by YSL!) and it’s still a favorite bag as it’s the perfect size.
BAG STRAP: Another awesome Amazon buy that I literally use all the time. I put these bag straps on every bag that I can as it’s made all my bags sturdier and easier to carry.
I’ve been trying to keep up on all the Black Friday/Cyber Week sales so to save you some time I’ve rounded up the 5 best sites to shop Black Friday & Cyber Week fashion deals! Read on for some of the best sales on clothing, jewelry and my favorite gift for kids!
To keep you up to date on the latest sales (and the best styles to shop), check out my round up pages that I will continually update as I find the best deals.
It’s Small Business Saturday so I have to mention my clothing line, T&J Designs! We just put together a whole Black Friday collection of items priced as $12! BUT it gets better. If you use the code GOBBLE25 you get an additional 25% off and ALL these pieces are only $9!
We also have the cutest jewelry gift sets for under $40 and you can get 25% off of these as well!
NORDSTROM 20% OFF AND LOFT 50% OFF SALES
If you missed it, I did a major dressing room review/round up of the best picks from the Nordstrom sale (additional 20% off sale) and LOFT (50% off everything!) Check out the full post HERE. These are my favorite pieces that I got from the sales. Everything is still available in all sizes!
LOFT Black Friday/Cyber week sales (50% off everything!)
Amazon black friday fashion deals
Amazon has quite a few fashion deals for black friday. It’s a bit hard to navigate the site so I’ve put together this Amazon Fashion and Black Friday deals page so it’s so much easier to shop.
I spotted this cute Rebecca Minkoff bag for 55% off but the deal only lasts until tonight! Update: This deal ended but it’s still on sale – just not 55% off.
I mentioned the designer shoe sale (check out my updated list of shoes here!) but I’m dying over a ton of gorgeous bags on sale too. SSENSE is one of my favorite places to buy my bags online and they have the best sale selection.
Lastly, not fashion related but one of my favorite toys for kids are these Cuddle and Kind dolls. Not only are they so adorable and soft, the company is amazing and donates 10 meals to children for every doll sold. For black friday they are offering free shipping and they are upping their donation to 20 meals for every doll purchased! If you are looking for a great present for your little one or your nieces, nephews, etc… take a look at their site, I’m sure you’ll find a doll that the kids will love! My daughter adores her Chloe bunnies and I plan on getting her another doll for Christmas!
I decided to head to the mall to check out Thanksgiving sales and I’m so glad I did! I only had time to visit a few stores but I found the cutest stuff. Just a quick post here as I won’t need to go into much detail, just wanted to share the cutest styles that I found and made sure that you grabbed them if you are interested as sizes go so fast on both Nordstrom and LOFT!
Also for reference I’m wearing a size XS in all the tops below and I found that they all ran true to size.
Nordstrom Thanksgiving Sale – Tops under $50!
Just a note that Nordstrom has marked all these down an additional 20% off! These prices only last until 11/27 so get them while you can!
Of course I couldn’t skip the designer shoe sale! Here are my faves I spotted (these are sized 35-36) there were a ton of great shoes! Unfortunately I did not have enough time to peruse through all the racks but I’ve rounded up some of the cutest designer shoes on sale below.
You can also follow along on my 2017 Designer Shoe Sale Must Haves! I’ll be updating this page as I shop to find the best designer shoes. Make sure to shop them fast as sizes always run out!
My husband saw it and said “it’s a blanket with arm holes, perfect for you!” LOL! And I didn’t deny it, I am always cold so wearing a blanket is quite appealing to me.
